Public Image Ltd wanted to represent Ireland at Eurovision Song Contest this year with »Hawaii«, quite an unusual, gentle PIL song, that John Lydon wrote for his wife, who is living with Alzheimer's. It's the vulnerability that is most striking. Lydon's love for his wife shines through like sunrays breaking through clouds, casting everything in a golden light: »I remember you,« he reassures her. He's backed by harmonising chants of »aloha«, the Hawaiin term that is both a greeting and a farewell.
